Ruins of the past

Ji Yuan's first stop when he came to the outer world was a transit planet in the Federation.

His special body had long been transported to the maintenance facility here. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had been soaked in a purple nutrient solution.

Next, Ji Yuan was not assigned to work immediately. Instead, he first adapted to his physical body, recovered his cultivation, and learned various common sense in the federation. All of this was to facilitate his future work.

During this period, Ji Yuan also visited the entire planet from time to time under the leadership of his colleagues from the Federation.

The earth has been hollowed out, the oceans have been filled in, and the entire planet has been covered by various high-tech artificial creations.

As a huge cosmic starport, spacecrafts are constantly coming in and out, and the densely packed spaceships are flashing back and forth in the sky like stars.

Ji Yuan, who came to the Federation for the first time, was quickly shocked, and through in-depth study and life, he became more and more admired for the Federation's various technologies, systems, and achievements.

In particular, the federation's consciousness algorithm transformation turned all people into rational, calm citizens with various good qualities, which made him deeply moved.

‘Perhaps the same should be true for the Han people. Most of the people are ignorant, ignorant, and often selfish. Only through such a mass transformation of consciousness can we create a more perfect era. ’

Gradually, Ji Yuan gradually came up with the idea that the big man should learn from the Federation.

A few months later, with the help of the Tianyan Beast bloodline specially found for him by Chu Qiguang, as well as various high-tech assistance from the Federation, Ji Yuan's physical cultivation in the main universe was promoted to the realm of sainthood.

And he will also go to his first planned mission.

Looking at the information about the target planet, Ji Yuan smiled helplessly: "No wonder Chu Qiguang arranged for me to go there, but even if I go there, it may not be useful? This ancestor may have disowned us a long time ago."

A few days later, Ji Yuan rode on a federal spaceship and arrived on a green planet.

But as soon as the spacecraft approached, they saw that the planet's atmosphere changed drastically, as if it was controlled by some invisible force, turning into giant dragons and surrounding the spacecraft.

Ji Yuan sighed in his heart when he saw this scene: 'It's really the Baiyang Wind Tribulation...'

The Baiyang Wind Tribulation is the Baiyang Sect's sage-conquering method, and it is also the main Taoist practice of the Daxia royal family.

Although he knew that the civilization on this planet was related to the Daxia royal family before coming here, seeing this scene still made Ji Yuan feel complicated emotions in his heart.

According to the intelligence currently available to the Federation, the intelligent lifeforms that now rule this planet are not indigenous lifeforms, but alien lifeforms that came here at least hundreds of years ago.

These alien creatures have a physical structure that is very similar to humans, and have mastered powerful Taoist power. They have even reconstructed the entire planet's spiritual system, and have artificially manipulated the planet's climate, terrain, magnetic field, and other natural environments all year round. intervention.

Because this civilization is very closed and rarely contacts the outside world, the Federation has no further information.

However, this time there was no response after sending the invitation of the Alliance of Heavens to the other party, so the Federation sent a fleet for a friendly visit.

After several days of conversations, the other party made it clear that they were unwilling to join the Alliance of Heavens, did not need any assistance from the Alliance, and were not willing to intervene in any battles between cosmic civilizations.

And during the conversation, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the federal fleet's unauthorized entry and took the initiative to expel all federal starships.

During this attack, a Tao Ancestor-level powerhouse appeared, shocking the federal intelligence department.

A Tao Ancestor-level powerhouse is an absolute top figure among all the forces in the world. They never expected that there would be a Tao Ancestor hidden in such a small planet.

Just when Ji Yuan's spaceship arrived again, in a certain palace on the planet, the Tiansheng Emperor from the Han world was teaching more than a dozen disciples the key points of Taoist cultivation.

"The first point of practicing Taoism is to learn to stay away from the mysterious and unknown, just because the knowledge that most people can learn in their lifetime is limited. The closer they get to that limit, the easier it is to go crazy."

"So you have to suppress your curiosity and focus on Taoism, so that you have the opportunity to go further..."

As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Tiansheng Emperor not only had outstanding qualifications and talents, but also had the entire Central Plains' monastic resources for him to improve his realm when he was in the Han world.

In addition, he read through the four major sutras collected by the Daxia royal family at will. The superior cultivation conditions could be said to be unmatched by anyone in the world at that time.

When he was forty years old, not only had he attained the realm of Tianyuan, but he was also proficient in the dharma of several sects. He even created his own Tianyuan dharma called "Nine Heavens of Demonic Thunder Technique", making him truly proud and unrivaled in the world.

During the reign of Emperor Tiansheng, he first went on three consecutive expeditions to the East China Sea, killing the dragons and hiding in the depths of the ocean, and captured a large number of dragon corpses to make weapons and armor. He also relied on this battle to control the sea routes and start a prosperous maritime trade. A large amount of silver was earned for the imperial court every year.

Then he went on a northern expedition against the demon barbarians and split the northern demon clan into pieces, leaving the northern demon clan weak and in chaos for hundreds of years.

Martial arts and Taoism in the entire Central Plains were extremely prosperous at that time. Further research on the Wuwei Sect and the Extraordinary Gods from Heaven, under the auspices of the Tiansheng Emperor, even started the transformation of the Gangqi layer, and completed the development of the nine-mouth Great Xia Divine Sword. Forged, even Jiang Hongyun, the creator of the three major dharma of Jie Sect, was born because of him.

Whether it is the sky, the earth, the ocean's territory, or natural changes such as floods, rainfall, earthquakes... almost everything is under the control of the Heavenly Holy Emperor.

It can be said that Daxia reached the pinnacle of civil and martial arts in the hands of Emperor Tiansheng, laying a solid foundation for the glory of the Daxia Dynasty in the following hundreds of years.

And just after the Heavenly Saint Emperor reached the pinnacle of his life, he began to set his sights on the distant world outside the world.

During his many spiritual wanderings in the past, he had become extremely fascinated by the mystery and vastness of the outer world. He was even more curious and competitive about the Emperor God who descended from the Gang Qi layer and regarded the world as a pasture.

So after the country's rule and personal realm reached their peak, the Tiansheng Emperor began to become more and more obsessed with the secrets of Tianwai and Huangtian.

Facing the rituals and knowledge from the Huangtian world, the talismans made of non-human wriggling murmurs and annotations, even the erosion of the void and the rise of demon stains can make him happy.

Under the inspiration of the void, located deep in the Huangtian world, the supreme being served by the stars slightly lowered his gaze.

From then on, the Heavenly Holy Emperor would always enter the blurry dreamland when the stars were twinkling, and see the indescribable existence in the distance in his dreams.

This abominable dream that lingered in the depths of his consciousness until his death allowed him to see countless terrifying and crazy vistas of the universe.

The ancient fear that cannot be described in words and the twisted abyss that cannot be described in any language caused drastic changes in the mind of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

‘We are just food, food for the Emperor. ’

The Heavenly Saint Emperor was in great pain when he realized this. All the achievements he had made in the past seemed to be unable to change this.

The Gang Qi layer has completely turned the entire Han world into a prison, and when Emperor Tian comes, everything will lead to the final doom.

In order to escape from this inevitable doomsday, in order to get rid of the entanglement of the deep nightmare, the Heavenly Holy Emperor finally decided to secretly split a part of his consciousness, abandon his body, and reincarnate in the outer world, in order to completely get rid of the threat of Emperor Tian.

At the same time, he also left a trace of remnants in each of the nine Great Xia Divine Swords, hoping that there would be a chance in the future to extradite people from this world to escape the future doomsday.

On the other hand, reincarnation also contains huge risks. After all, he has to start over in the vast world. Whether the human body in the outer world can be integrated with the martial arts and Taoism he practices is also a huge problem.

But the good news is that he once met a powerful warrior named Xiang Tiandi, and obtained some information about extraterrestrial civilizations from him, and found an extraterrestrial civilization that could come.

So in order to get rid of the eternal nightmare, the Heavenly Holy Emperor decided to take a risk, but what he didn't know was... that the time and space he was reincarnated in was in the material universe thousands of years ago.

At first, he was reincarnated into the body of a carnivore. He was used to having rich clothes and fine food, but he had to live a life of eating hair and drinking blood. In addition to hunting for food every day, he studied himself, the environment, and thought about ways out.

Although it was hard, what comforted Tian Sheng Emperor was that since his reincarnation, he seemed to have really escaped Huang Tian's nightmare and never saw those terrifying things again.

It is a pity that the bloodline of Tianyan Beast does not exist on this planet, so Tiansheng Emperor cannot practice the righteous method and can only find another way.

And he was worthy of being a genius who had comprehended the four great sutra kings. He quickly became familiar with the structure of this physical body, and began to create martial arts suitable for this physical body and practice at the same time.

Soon Emperor Tiansheng became the king of beasts in the jungle. Hunting was easy for him. He began to head out of the jungle and began to explore the intelligent civilization on this planet.

This is a humanoid civilization that has mastered immortal technology, and some top practitioners have even left the planet and headed for the sea of ​​stars.

The Heavenly Holy Emperor cautiously came into contact with this civilization, secretly learned the technology of this civilization, and finally began his second reincarnation after decades of preparation. This time the target was a terminally ill child that he had selected for a long time.

The child was abandoned by his parents, has no father, no mother, and no complex social relationships. Although he is terminally ill, he has excellent bones and is an excellent reincarnation target.

So after the child died of a terminal illness, the Heavenly Saint Emperor completed his second reincarnation and became a member of this civilization.

Relying on the preparations he made during his time as a jungle overlord, he first recuperated and practiced in the jungle for a year, and then came to a human city to join a ninth-class sect.

With his outstanding talent, extraordinary wisdom and young age, he quickly rose to prominence in the sect and was adopted as an adopted son by the leader of the sect.

Half a year later, his martial arts had surpassed that of his master, and after he had eliminated all his enemies for the other party, leaving behind his modified sect's unique skills, the Tiansheng Emperor began to wander around the world, eagerly learning the martial arts and Taoist techniques of this civilization.

He made friends with righteous talents, explored the ruins of ancient Sanxian immortals, worshiped the righteous sect, and was selected as a true disciple... In just five years, he became the chief disciple of the largest righteous sect and became the most popular young generation in the world. master.

In the next few decades, he passed on the highest scriptures in the sect, fought and fought back and forth with the masters of the evil sect, and finally became one against ten, achieving the reputation of being invincible in the world. Then he found the Tianwai Immortal from the ruins of the ancient immortals. Zong's clues flew into the sky and flew away.

During the hundreds of years of traveling in the outer world, he met a variety of different civilizations, and continued to increase his cultivation and realm, until in an interstellar airport, he discovered a human who was suspected of using martial arts. .

The other party's name is Su Xing, and he comes from a civilization with powerful virtual technology. It is said that most members of the other civilization have been sleeping in the virtual world for a long time, and even the entire civilization has gradually given up on the development of the real world.

Until an evil god descended from the sky and caused chaos in their world, but also passed down the evil god's martial arts.

So under Huang Tian's will, they planned to gather together with other believers in the universe, and finally, under Huang Tian's inspiration, they would expedition to the hometown of the evil god.

If Chu Qiguang were here, he would find that Su Xing's civilization was the same civilization he had visited in the past, and the martial arts on the other side were also passed down by him.

Most people in the universe would choose to stay away from these nagging followers of gods. No one wants to mess with a mysterious and unfamiliar god in this universe.

The Holy Emperor of Heaven was even more like this. After realizing the identity of the other Emperor's followers, he bought a ticket for the nearest star boat and planned to stay away from the other party the next day.

It's a pity that Huangtian seems to be like a curse that can never be shaken off. The moment before the Emperor Tiansheng boarded the ship, the black and yellow airflow in the sky enveloped the entire star port.

Huang Tian's followers held a grand trance ritual in the star port, exchanging the bodies and souls of countless passengers for Huang Tian's gifts. All intelligent life in the star port, except for Huang Tian's believers, turned into aliens called Yellow Turban Hercules. exist.

Even though the Heavenly Saint Emperor's cultivation was already extraordinary at that time, he was still unable to withstand the vast divine power. He could only watch his body being distorted.

At the last moment, he had to hastily start his third reincarnation, transfer his soul into the body of a Huangtian believer, and mix with this group of cultists.

Although he lost his last body that he had cultivated for hundreds of years, and was once again involved in Huangtian's followers, hundreds of years later... Tiansheng Emperor found that this new body could finally practice the righteous method again.

It was only a long time later that he realized that this was because the other party also came from another ranch in Huangtian, and because he also had the blood of the Tianyan Beast, he could master the cultivation of Zhengfa.

Tiansheng Emperor has been developing quietly in this group for a period of time, but suddenly discovered strange changes in time and space. He often found that time and experiences were repeated, and there would be some subtle or huge changes.

For example, the believers around him prayed one more time, and the next destination of the spacecraft changed. But except for him, all the believers around him knew nothing about this strange change in time and space.

Although Tiansheng Emperor didn't know that these were related to his consciousness from the second cycle, he still thought about how to use this strange change in time and space to find an opportunity to escape.

And just when this strange change in time and space continued to intensify, he suddenly felt a call from the Han world. This was something that had not happened in the past hundreds of years.

So he tried to answer the call and found that as long as he was in the fleet of Huangtian believers, he could contact Ji Haoran who was far away in the Han world.

However, this kind of contact is intermittent, and the time flow rate between the two sides is also very chaotic. Coupled with the strange time and space changes on the fleet side, what the Tiansheng Emperor can do is very limited.

He could only pass on his martial arts skills to Ji Haoran as much as possible, and then control the opponent's physical body to perform Tao skills at several critical moments.

It's a pity that even with the help of Tiansheng Emperor, it seems that the destiny set by Emperor Tian for demons to win over humans can never be violated. The demon clan's arrogance is becoming more and more arrogant, and the Central Plains is about to sink, making Tiansheng Emperor once again feel the huge gap between humans and gods.

After trying repeatedly but feeling hopeless, the Heavenly Saint Emperor finally made the decision to save one and all, at least to help Ji Haoran's consciousness escape from the Han world.

So he pretended to borrow the other person's body to be reborn, but secretly led the other person's consciousness out, using his own body to accommodate two consciousnesses at the same time.

Ji Haoran, who had just escaped, could not accept this and had a serious conflict with Tiansheng Emperor. Finally, he gradually accepted the reality under Tiansheng Emperor's persuasion.

In the process, the fleet encountered more and more strange events. There were often inexplicably more or less people on the spaceships. Once, there were even more than ten spaceships, which made the Emperor Tiansheng secretly speechless.

In addition, some distorted phantoms would appear in the cabin from time to time, like something happening in a distant place, but no one except Tiansheng Emperor and Ji Haoran noticed this strangeness.

As the strange phenomena became more and more serious, Tiansheng Emperor and Ji Haoran continued to plan their escape.

Finally, when the believers held a sacrificial ceremony on a cultural star, they pretended to die in a firefight with the civilization's regular army and quietly left this strange team of believers.

And the experience of being involved in Huangtian-related incidents many times made the Tiansheng Emperor no longer willing to wander around in the universe. He rescued a group of refugees from a war-torn planet and led the refugees to find an environmental incident. Desolate planet.

A few months later, Ji Haoran was reincarnated into the body of a refugee who died of illness. In order to allow the other person to practice martial arts and Taoism, the Tian Sheng Emperor began to extract his own blood and inject it into the refugee's body.

Under the cultivation and guidance of the two people, more and more people on this planet have the bloodline of Tianyan Beast, and more and more people have mastered martial arts and Taoism. The civilization of the entire planet has developed rapidly.

Up to this moment, after hundreds of years of development, the planet beneath our feet has become a brand new immortal civilization.

Because of his past experiences, because of the various disasters caused by his extremely strong curiosity and desire for knowledge, and because of his fear of Emperor Tian, ​​Emperor Tiansheng has been closing off the entire planet's contact with the outside world for these years, almost living in isolation from the world.

Although his cultivation has been rising steadily, even surpassing that of himself in the Han world, he is still unwilling to pursue the various mysteries in the universe, and is unwilling to get involved in disputes related to Emperor Tian.

Until this day, the federal fleet arrived again, which made the Tiansheng Emperor feel worried.

A young man raised his head and looked at the huge shadow in the sky, and said with a smile: "Master, these people from the so-called Federation are really committed to each other. They insist on dragging us into some kind of alliance of the heavens, just talking. The safety of the universe and the crisis of all worlds are so arrogant..."

The Heavenly Holy Emperor did not speak, but just looked in the direction of the sky, and his thoughts were transmitted to the hearts of everyone in the spacecraft: "I have made up my mind and will not participate in the disputes in the universe. Please go back..."

But the next moment, I saw a person flying suddenly in the sky. The person was carrying a tornado all over his body, and lightning and thunder rushed towards him.

"Baiyang Wind Tribulation? Tongshengzhengfa?"

The Heavenly Saint Emperor was slightly startled when he saw this scene. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Yuan, who fell from the sky, as if he was squeezing a mosquito.

Looking at Ji Yuan who was suppressed by his backhand, Tiansheng Emperor said coldly: "Who are you? What Taoist technique was used just now?"

After confirming their mutual identities with Ji Yuan, Tiansheng Emperor felt even more incredible.

"Are you Ji Yuan? How is that possible? You should have been hundreds of years ago..."

The Heavenly Saint Emperor's heart said that the time and space chaos he experienced in the Huangtian Fleet was more serious than he imagined.

And Ji Yuan planned to start persuading Emperor Tiansheng to join the Alliance of All Heavens.

But before Ji Yuan's persuasion could begin, Tiansheng Emperor first persuaded Ji Yuan to take the people of the Han world to reincarnate and escape as soon as possible.

"... Once the emperor comes, it will be the end. Since you can come here, why don't you escape quickly?"

Faced with the worry of Emperor Tiansheng, Ji Yuan smiled disapprovingly and said: "We have already studied the origin of Huangtian clearly. He is Huangji Tianjun who used to be in Xudao Palace."

"Huangji Tianjun is only at the level of Dao Ancestor at best, but now that the entire Xu Dao Palace has joined the Alliance of All Heavens, Huang Tian is no longer afraid."

"What's more, there are three great saints in the Alliance of Heavens, so what does the little Emperor Tian mean? If she comes again, she will probably be captured by Chu Qiguang and work to pay off the debt..."

Ji Yuan's disinterest made Emperor Tiansheng confused. Although Chu Qiguang was very powerful in his memory, there should be a huge gap between him and Huang Tian.

The Holy Emperor sighed: "You are too arrogant. Huang Tian's power is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Even now that I have reached the pinnacle of martial arts and Taoism, I am still no match for Huang Tian. Can you understand?"

Ji Yuan looked at the other party's unbelieving look and sighed in his heart. Since when did the Holy Emperor of Great Xia, who had been a wise and mighty man in his memory and whom he worshiped since childhood, become like this? He didn't even understand the heavens and the world. .

"This is the gift Chu Qiguang asked me to bring."

Only the entangled light of blue, red and white was seen rising from Ji Yuan's body, turning into a shadow of Chu Qiguang.

"This method is my experience in revising the correct method of Baiyang Sect. Please give it a try, Emperor Tiansheng."

The next moment, the three-color light ball slowly shot toward the Heavenly Holy Emperor in front of him.

The Heavenly Saint Emperor sighed, shook his head and said: "Chu Qiguang, you are so far away from the starry sky, and you want to deal with me with just such a casual blow, you are too arrogant."

The Heavenly Saint Emperor waved his hand to stop him, but found that he could not avoid the three-color ray of light even after using all his martial arts and Taoist skills.

In the end, he could only watch the three-color light group pouring into his eyebrows, as if someone touched his head.

The surrounding disciples looked at this scene in shock. They never expected that the power exerted by the so-called Chu Qiguang from an unknown distance of many light years would make their master unable to avoid it.

Just when the disciples were about to attack Ji Yuan and others, Tiansheng Emperor waved his hand to stop them.

He recalled the information brought by the three-color light group and said in disbelief: "The "Three Yang Catastrophe"... and the "Vacuum Catastrophe"... Not only did Chu Qiguang complete them, but he also made some corrections?"

Ji Yuan said: "Chu Qiguang has completed and corrected all twenty-five righteous methods."

The Heavenly Saint Emperor was even more shocked when he heard this.

Then Ji Yuan called in the federal staff and began to present various evidences about the Alliance of All Heavens and the Taoist Palace of Taichu to the Heavenly Holy Emperor, and finally allowed the other party to accept the information bit by bit.

Tian Sheng Emperor murmured: "Huang Tian...isn't he no longer a threat?"

Ji Yuan advised from the side: "The general trend of the universe in the future will definitely be the struggle between the Alliance of the Heavens and the Taoist Palace of Taichu. Any civilization must choose sides."

At this moment, Ji Haoran also rushed over, and Ji Yuan had to introduce him to him again and invited them to visit the Federation.

After a visit, Tian Sheng Emperor and Ji Haoran both felt it. They did not expect that Huang Tian, ​​who they had been afraid of for hundreds of years... unknowingly could no longer threaten the Han world.

And Ji Yuan, who was originally far behind them, has now become an official of the Alliance of Heavens, and has even more resources and power than the two of them.

This feeling of changes in the world made them sigh with emotion.

Ji Yuan looked at the two people in the conference room and said: "After joining the Alliance of All Heavens, we will provide you with loan support. You can use the loan money to pay for future projects and carry out technological transformation of the entire planet. Developed communication capabilities across galaxies, a network of energy and blood fluctuations that travel at the speed of light within the planet, and the support of a large amount of Chu coins to conduct trade in the universe..."

"As an obligation of the members of the Alliance of Heavens, you must send a certain number of overseas students every year, provide a certain number of Tianyan beast bloodlines as required, and complete technical exchanges with us on a regular basis to share all immortal technologies... "

Neither Tiansheng Emperor nor Ji Haoran could see any flaws in the various generous benefits promised by the other party. It seemed to be a win-win policy. They could get help to develop rapidly, and the other party could earn a lot of money in the process of their development. dividend.

Ji Yuan finally said: "If there is no problem, just ask the two of you to sign."
